CrossFit's Workout Of The Day

50-40-30-20-10 reps for time of:
Double-unders
Sit-ups

Complete 5 shoulder presses at 80% of your 1-rep max after each round.

Post time and shoulder press load to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we take on a twist of the benchmark workout Annie. You'll complete the same rep scheme as the classic workout, but with heavy shoulder presses after each round. Aim to finish each set of double-unders in 45 seconds or less. It's OK to break up the sit-ups, but keep moving. Shoot for about 80% of your heaviest shoulder press for 5 reps between rounds — heavy, but manageable enough to maintain proper technique even as you fatigue.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is meant to be a sprint effort — start at a challenging pace and hang on. Don’t try to game it; just put the pedal to the floor and see what happens. Choose a light load that allows you to perform at least 15 unbroken thrusters. Aim to complete the first row in under 90 seconds. Expect this workout to deliver a feeling similar to Fran.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is in honor of Marine Cpl. Kevin “Jack” Dempsey, 23, of Monroe, Connecticut, who died on Nov. 13, 2004, from wounds sustained by an improvised explosive device while on a reconnaissance foot patrol in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, outside the city of Abu Ghraib. Dempsey was part of the 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force, based at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and had been deployed in Iraq since September. A gifted high school athlete, Dempsey knew he wanted to be a Marine as early as ninth grade, and the Sept. 11 attacks galvanized him to enlist in the Marine Corps in March 2002. He is survived by his mother, Barbara, and his sister, Jennifer.

This workout is a long, unique grind. Choose a moderate deadlift load that allows at least 20 reps per 2-minute AMRAP. Complete pull-ups in under 30 seconds and push-ups in under 1:15 — scale to hit those windows while maintaining full range of motion. The box jumps are higher than usual; find a height that lets you move consistently and finish in under 1:15. The bike will likely be the longest single effort in the 19-minute AMRAP, but should not exceed 2:30. Completing this Rx’d is acceptable even if the intended stimulus is out of reach, but sound mechanics and range of motion are nonnegotiable.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we honor Eva Mireles, 44, who died on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, while shielding her fourth-grade students from a gunman at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Mireles’ co-teacher, Irma Garcia, and 19 students were also killed in the shooting. Mireles was in her 17th year of teaching in the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, and held certifications in special education and bilingual education. In addition to regularly running before school, she also enjoyed hiking. Friends and relatives recall she could be found in her CrossFit gym almost every day after school. In 2022, she participated in the CrossFit Open for the ninth time.

Eva Strong is a partner workout where each athlete completes 24 double-unders, then works with their partner to split 19 toes-to-bars and 2 clean and jerks before running together. Each round should take less than 5 minutes to complete. To account for fatigue later in the workout, aim to keep the first few rounds under 4 minutes.

Scale the volume and load so each movement takes no more than 1 minute to complete. This should leave approximately 2:00-2:30 for the run while keeping the overall round time under 5 minutes. Scale the double-unders to single-unders or penguin taps, and reduce the range of motion on the toes-to-bars. The goal is to maintain steady movement, efficient transitions, and consistent pacing throughout the workout.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we honor Special Agent Nathan “Ned” Schuldheiss, 27, of Newport, Rhode Island, a civilian assigned to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Detachment 204 Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, who died Nov. 1, 2007, near Balad Air Base, Iraq, of wounds sustained from an improvised explosive device that struck his vehicle. He is survived by his father, retired Lt. Col. Jeff Schuldheiss; mother, Sarah Conlan; stepfather, Kris Mills; and sister, Erin Dreeszen.

This long workout will challenge both your endurance and stamina. Aim to complete the row in 5 minutes or less each round. Scale the distance to stay within that time domain, or cap each row at 5 minutes.

Choose a moderate back squat load that allows you to complete most, if not all, sets in under a minute. While the weight may feel manageable early on, be mindful that the combination of repeated rowing efforts and accumulating fatigue will make the back squats increasingly demanding as the workout progresses. Focus on maintaining a steady pace throughout and avoid the temptation to push too hard in the early rounds. Consistency will pay off over the course of this longer effort.

800-meter run
50 GHD back extensions
50 sit-ups

Compare to 240318.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is in honor of Navy Lt. Michael McGreevy, 30, of Portville, New York, who was killed in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005, when the helicopter he was aboard crashed. McGreevy is survived by his wife, Laura; daughter, Molly; mother, Patricia Mackin; and father, Michael McGreevy Sr.

Today, we tackle a longer Hero workout featuring simple movements that heavily tax the lower body and core. Each round should take between 8 and 10 minutes to complete. Scale the run distance as needed to keep each effort under 5:30.

Most athletes should opt for GHD hip extensions rather than back extensions to maintain movement quality and keep intensity high. However, if you can continue moving well and maintain proper form, perform back extensions.

Scale the sit-up volume and/or difficulty so each set can be completed in under 2:15. Focus on steady pacing throughout and aim to stay consistent from round to round.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
800-meter run
25 GHD hip extensions
50 sit-ups

Bike calories

Post time to comments.

♀ 95-lb barbell
♂ 135-lb barbell

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout features a descending-rep ladder designed to keep you moving at a fast pace from start to finish. Choose a front-rack lunge load that allows you to complete the work with no more than two breaks at any point in the workout. Focus on maintaining an upright torso and strong front-rack position throughout every lunge repetition.

For the knees-to-elbows, make sure each rep meets the standard by clearly touching your knees to your elbows. Scale the movement as needed to maintain consistent sets of at least five reps throughout the workout.

Attack the bike with intent. Aim to complete the first round of calories in under 2 minutes and use that effort to set the tone for the rest of the workout. Stay disciplined on your movement standards and push the pace where you can.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout combines monostructural conditioning with gymnastics. Each 5-minute window begins with a 200-meter run, followed by max reps of a single gymnastics movement. Push the pace on every run. The transition to the gymnastics skill provides a natural opportunity to recover while continuing to work. Choose challenging variations that still allow you to accumulate quality reps safely under fatigue. This is an opportunity to practice and build stamina in movements you may not get to focus on regularly. Stay aggressive on the runs, remain disciplined with your movement quality, and make the most of each interval.

15-12-9 reps for load of:
Clean and jerks

Perform all unbroken touch-and-go reps. There is no time limit; rest as needed between sets.

Compare to 250114.

Post load to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This benchmark workout builds stamina and strength throughout the entire body. The goal is to lift as heavy as possible without failing a rep, demonstrating major technical faults, or putting the barbell down. The key to accomplishing all three is deliberate movement on every rep and finding grit as each set progresses. In the set of 15, reps 1-7 should feel manageable, reps 8-12 will require focus and challenge your barbell stamina, and reps 13-15 should test both your mental toughness and movement quality under fatigue. Plan for 3-4 minutes of rest between sets and use the same load for the entire workout. Fatigue will accumulate with each set, but the descending rep scheme is designed to help you maintain the same weight with solid mechanics throughout.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Beginner option:
15-12-9 reps for load of:

5 rounds for time of:
800-meter run
50 air squats
30 GHD sit-ups

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Get ready for a long grind with today’s triplet. The three movements all demand varying degrees of hip flexion and extension. You’ll run, squat, and perform sit-ups, with each movement contributing to heavy legs and fatigued hip flexors as the workout progresses. The total volume is high: two-and-a-half miles of running, 250 air squats, and 150 GHD sit-ups. Aim to keep each run effort under 4 minutes; scale as needed to stay within that time domain. And remember — there are 5 rounds. Try to finish the air squats in under 2 minutes and the sit-ups in 90 seconds or less. If you are not regularly accumulating volume on the GHD, consider reducing the reps and shortening the range of motion.

Intermediate option:
4 rounds for time of:
800-meter run
50 air squats
20 GHD sit-ups to parallel

Beginner option:

♀ 95-lb barbell
♂ 135-lb barbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is every bit as dirty as it looks on paper and will require a strong focus on efficiency and rep management. Aim to maintain at least 10 overhead squats per minute through the first 6 minutes, then hang on from there to finish within the intended time domain of 13 minutes or less. The barbell starts from the floor.

The double-unders may seem harmless at first, but they add up quickly over the course of the workout. They place a subtle but significant demand on the shoulders, which can have a major impact on your overhead squat performance later on.

Rest Day

Why Intensity Is the One Thing You Can't Train Around

Social media is full of fitness content, and most of it is steering you away from the single biggest factor in actually getting fitter. Intensity isn't glamorous, it doesn't film well, and it hurts — which is exactly why it keeps getting buried under fancier alternatives.

3 rounds for time of:
5 rope climbs to 15 feet
25 back squats

♀ 125-lb barbell
♂ 185-lb barbell

Compare to 120515.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s Hero workout honors Brian R. Bill, a U.S. Navy Special Warfare Operator Chief Petty Officer (SEAL) from Stamford, Connecticut, who died on Aug. 6, 2011, from wounds suffered when his unit’s helicopter crashed in Wardak province, Afghanistan.

This workout pairs high-volume back squats with rope climbs. Aim to keep the bar moving and your climbs efficient throughout. Choose a back-squat weight you could complete unbroken in the first round, even if you elect to take one short break to avoid excessive fatigue later on. You should not need more than three sets in any round, and the barbell should feel moderate when fresh. Use an efficient leg lock on the rope climbs. Take a moment to breathe at the top, then control your descent. Minimize rest at the rack — get under the bar and right into your squats. Be careful not to come out too hot at the start. Approach Round 1 with the pacing mindset you want to have in Round 3.

Today's Hero workout is in honor of U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Adrian Elizalde, 30, of North Bend, Oregon, assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne), based in Fort Lewis, Washington, who died on Aug. 23, 2007, in Baghdad, Iraq, of wounds sustained from an improvised explosive device.

Expect this one to be a gymnastics skill-intensive workout with a variety of relatively complex movements. Complete the forward rolls in under 30 seconds, the wall walks in under 90 seconds, unbroken toes-to-bars in under 30 seconds, and the box jumps in under 45 seconds. Scale as needed to finish within these intended time domains. Shoot for a more challenging box height than you'd usually go for, but make sure you can still keep moving. The early rounds should be done in about 2 minutes, with no round taking longer than 3:15. Let today be what you need based on how you’re feeling after Murph.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This workout will be a hard effort that will tax your grip and your posture. Choose a dumbbell that is light enough to allow you to maintain unbroken suitcase carries, switching arms as needed on each trip. Push to maintain a consistent shuttle run pace, finishing each effort in under 90 seconds. Push for large sets of hang snatches with minimal breaks, if any. If you are on the fence, going a little lighter rather than a little heavier will make the most sense today.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a chipper that will challenge the entire body, with the lower-body fatigue really stacking up as you move through the workout. Expect the deadlifts to be demanding, but aim to complete them with no more than one break. Try to finish each set of pull-ups in 90 seconds or less.

The wall-ball shots will tax the legs and shoulders, so focus on maintaining larger sets and completing all reps in under 2 minutes. The box jumps may become the most challenging movement, especially after the other elements of the workout. Settle into a consistent, steady pace and aim to complete each set in under 3 minutes.

Row at a hard but controlled pace that still allows for a quick transition into the second set of box jumps. If the row will take longer than 4:30 to complete, consider scaling the distance.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a longer one that will challenge your overall endurance and place a significant demand on your legs and trunk. The goal is to complete the workout in under 30 minutes. The wall-ball shot volume is significant; try to maintain consistent sets of at least 15 reps with short rest, especially during the set of 75. Expect the sit-ups to be more challenging than you might think. Work to maintain full range of motion and keep breaks short — reduce the reps as needed. Try to maintain 10-15 calories per minute on the bike. Scale if needed to do so. The first round is about half the workout and should be finished by the 15-minute mark.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on a relatively short workout with a challenging load on the jerks and a bit of volume of double-unders. Choose a challenging weight that still allows for no more than one short break on each round. Better to challenge yourself with a heavier load than to go too light. Shoot to get that first set of double-unders completed in under 2 minutes; scale as needed to do so. A hidden element of this workout is the redundancy, specifically with the jumping demands and shoulder fatigue. To aid with this, focus on maintaining hip extension on the jerks and aggressively pushing under the barbell to lock it out and stabilize it.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we have a very grip- and shoulder-heavy workout. Even with the heavy dumbbells, try to keep moving with minimal breaks through all movements. Aim to complete the jump rope in under 2:30 each time, and the dumbbell movements in no more than 6 sets each. As you get farther into this one, use your legs and hips to keep the weight moving. This workout will not get easier each round, so make sure you are confident with the loads and scales you select.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout focuses on moving quickly under fatigue. This effort capitalizes on your rest time, which allows you to recover and hit the next one hard. Choose a challenging front-rack carry weight that still allows for unbroken efforts. Make sure the kettlebells are in a true front-rack position, not resting on the shoulders. Plan to sprint through the box jump-overs, finishing the 15 reps in 1 minute or less.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we have a Hero workout in honor of Chief Warrant Officer 3 Andrew “Drew” Gunnison Cully, 35, of Ozark, Missouri, and the legendary Night Stalkers of C Company, 4th Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). Cully died on Sept. 17, 2025, when his MH-60M Black Hawk helicopter crashed during a training mission near Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. He was serving with C Company, 4th Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) — the legendary Night Stalkers. Born May 12, 1990, in Springfield, Missouri, Cully graduated from Missouri State University, was commissioned as a second lieutenant in 2013, and advanced to captain. He later achieved CW3, served as an instructor pilot, earned a master’s degree, and was selected for the elite 160th SOAR. He is survived by his wife, Layne, and children, Lennox and Abbott.

Each section of this workout honors one of the heroes who died in that helicopter crash. As with many Hero workouts, this workout is a long grind and is more about the effort and your mindset than the scoreboard. The pull-ups and push-ups are challenging, but each movement should not take longer than 1:30 to complete on any round. The deadlifts are intended to be moderately heavy, where 4 reps can be completed consecutively. Try to complete Kraus in under 5 minutes, Scott in under 6 minutes, Good in under 7 minutes, Cully in under 8 minutes, and the step-ups in under 15 minutes.

10 rounds for time of:
2 rope climbs to 15 feet
10 GHD sit-ups
25 double-unders

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Get ready for a longer triplet today. Manage rest early on the rope climbs and GHD sit-ups to ensure you never hit failure on either movement. Aim to finish the rope climbs in less than 45 seconds each round and the GHD sit-ups and double-unders in less than 30 seconds each round. Be mindful of wasted time during transitions. Simply prolonging each transition by 5 seconds will lead to an additional 2 or more minutes of workout time.

Intermediate option:
10 rounds for time of:
1 rope climb to 15 feet
7 GHD sit-ups to parallel
30 seconds of double-under attempts

Hang squat clean 2-2-2-2-2-2-2 reps

Compare to 240115.

Post loads to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll build to a heavy double hang squat clean — plan to have some fun and lift heavy. Look back at your last 2-rep hang squat clean in January 2024 to help gauge your effort and goal for the day. Hit the first set around 70-75% of your 1-rep-max clean. Advanced athletes should build to a max for the day, potentially hitting a PR. If this movement is new for you, plan to find a challenging load that still allows you to practice pulling under the bar quickly with sound mechanics.

Post total reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we have a fast-paced workout. Try to complete each of the three movements in 3 minutes or less to start. Be prepared for the wall walks to make the burpees more challenging as you start to fatigue; scale as needed to maintain the intended time domain. Make sure you keep your shoulders relaxed during the double-unders to give them a break before going back to the wall walks.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes of:
2 wall walks
15 burpees

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This is a high-rep and grippy workout. Keep in mind, we did pull-ups on Saturday, but at a lower intensity. This redundancy is intentional, but if you are sore, consider reducing the reps or decreasing the difficulty of the movement to keep intensity high. The deadlifts are light, but the volume will fatigue the posterior, making the last run so much fun. Buckle up for a fight when you hit the last 400 meters. Try to complete both runs between 3:30 and 4:30. The pull-ups and deadlifts should be completed in under 10 minutes and can be partitioned any way. For scaling, consider what can be completed in under 1 minute, and that rep scheme or movement variation will be your prescription. Examples per minute include 10 pull-ups/10 deadlifts (8 minutes of work), 8 pull-ups/8 deadlifts (10 minutes). If you cannot sustain a cadence of 8/8, reduce volume and or modify the movement selection. The first half of this workout should feel manageable. The second half is the real test.

15 GHD sit-ups
20 box jumps*

*Step down from the box.

♀ 20-inch box
♂ 24-inch box

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This triplet is all bodyweight movement, but it will boost your heart rate and leave your legs feeling heavy. Shoot to complete the early rounds in 3 minutes or less to account for fatigue later on. Finish the rope climbs in under 1 minute. If you have a rope climb, but not 2 in less than 60 seconds, scale to 1 rep per round. Otherwise, scale to a pull-to-stand and work on keeping the hips off the ground. The GHD sit-up sets should be fast. If you haven't been on the GHD recently, scale to parallel. If you've never been on it, practice a few as you warm up, but perform either weighted or unweighted AbMat sit-ups in the workout. Use the box jumps to either recover or push the pace, depending on how you're feeling. Complete the reps in less than 90 seconds or scale the height of the jump, even if it's to just a few inches off the floor.

One shuttle run is 25 feet out and 25 feet back.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This is a longer workout that will challenge your endurance, stamina, and grip. To move through this workout as efficiently as possible, consider breaking the toes-to-bars and strict pull-ups into smaller sets, coupled with quick breaks to avoid muscular failure early on. Move through the shuttle runs at a quick pace; scale as needed to complete each set in under 2 minutes. Complete the toes-to-bars and pull-ups each in 3 minutes or less.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a fast, simple benchmark that will allow you to recover while still bringing intensity. Look at your previous attempt to compare the score. Scale the double-unders to allow for a fast pace. Reduce reps first, and then substitute single-unders if needed. Perform the skill work after the workout when you have had an opportunity to return to equilibrium. Use this time to practice positioning and technique. Don’t blaze through with “sloppy” technique.

Intermediate option:

Stimulus and Strategy:
This bodyweight workout will challenge your core stamina in different ways. Push the pace on the run efforts, finishing each in 2 minutes or less. If needed, scale to either 300 or 200 meters to practice running at a faster pace. Scale the toes-to-bar volume first and then, if needed, substitute with knees-to-chests or hanging knee raises to maintain sets of 5 or more. Finish the toes-to-bar variation in under 3 minutes each set. Prioritize full range of motion wall walks if possible. If you can climb the wall fully without losing control or bending your elbows, but the volume is too high, reduce it to 5 or 7 reps. If you can't fully climb the wall without losing a straight arm, scale the range of motion.
